2016 ANNUAL REPORT 9
Association Statistics Put Foreign Trade Front & Center with
New Dashboard: As a strategic service provider to the industry,
the Aluminum Association developed a brand-new statistical report
this year to help aluminum watchers better understand metal
flows between the U.S. and other aluminum producing countries.
The Excel-based Foreign Trade Dashboard uses Global Trade Atlas
to provide subscribers quick and easy access to all the latest
aluminum import data. The interactive Dashboard allows users
to manipulate the trade data to their specific needs, whether
for internal analyses, identifying market opportunities, or tracking
the impact of key events on the flow of aluminum.
